YDM's Allay

Allays are a mob the mod adds to the world. An allay searches within a 32-block radius of the player for items the player has given it, collects them and brings them back to a drop-off point. Each allay holds only one item at a time, and allays naturally regenerate two health per second when damaged.

Allays can spawn naturally in biomes, and the mod can add them to biomes that other mods define. On Fabric the spawn settings are set in the config, while on Forge they are edited with a biome modifier. Older builds did not place cages, so the mod does not change existing worlds. Allays also generate with structures, and the 1.19 version does not include a spawn config.

The mod is for players and server owners who want a helper mob in survival or multiplayer worlds. Both the server and every player need it, because the mob is part of the game data on both sides. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.16.5 – 1.21.7. The mod is not open source; all rights are reserved by the author.
